Hi. I am a critical care nurse. I am interested in joining the army reserves. I met with a recruiter this week who said they are currently offering no benefits to nurses. On the website it says $50,000 loan repayment and $30,000 of possible sign on b...

Any idea when the bonuses will return?

I don't think it's legal to run a credit check on a pt without their consent??

Hi! I was curious as to the rules pertaining to nurses and utilizing advanced airways. Say its a busy night and you have no backup and your patient is coding. Are you allowed to use endotracheal intubation, combitube, king airway, LMA, etc? Is the...

Just to play devil's advocate here but if you are trained to do something and don't, doesn't that open you up to possible litigation? The patient or family can say you could have done more to save them but did not.

Ok thanks! I know its way outside my scope of practice for now. Do you happen to know NJ policy for those situations. I know the emphasis is on BVM ventilation and good CPR, but I am curious as to what is allowed.

Hi! I am normally not a big fan of online classes but I loved the ACLS heartcode online. I did my recert with it this year and found it to be very useful. After completing ten cases and the written test you have to go to an instructor and practice a ...

Also you can expect an order to administer digibind which is the antidote for that situation.

Hi! I got my bachelors in psychology and am currently in a 2nd degree BSN program. I took a lot of science classes at a community college over the years and was trying to see how close I am to being granted an associates in biology from there. My tra...

Hi! I am interested in working as a nurse practitioner in an ER or ICU setting. I have already worked as an EMT for six years and am certified in ACLS and PALS. The ACNP training seems to be more relevant to critical care fields but the FNP allows yo...

Thank you very much!

EMT cannot give Haldol. The only medications EMT-B are allowed to administer or assist with are oxygen, nitro, epi-pen, albuterol inhaler, activated charcoal, and oral glucose. I am not sure if paramedics carry haldol. I have never seen them actually...

Hi! I was wondering does anyone have a list to the names of every acute care NP program in the United States? Thank you!

Thanks!

Hi! Do you think it is helpful for a nurse to get a paramedic or PHRN certification if they work in the ER? Does that training better prepare you for your job?

Thank you everyone!

Hi! What can someone do in nursing school to make themselves more likely to get a job in ICU after they graduate?

Hi! I was curious but do some hospitals pay for your NP education if you are working there as a RN already or in exchange for working there after you graduate? I know I asked a lot of questions today but thank you!

Thank you! I would be applying next year since I still have to finish microbiology.

thanks!

Thank you!

Hi Daisy! Thanks. What are the differences between a RN to paramedic program and a normal paramedic program?

Hi! I am interested in this program. What are the average grades of accepted applicants? I have my bachelors already with a 3.2 GPA. I am currently getting an A in anatomy and physiology. I just have microbiology left to take. I have a few years expe...

Hi! Good luck on your boards. I passed ACLS before starting nursing school so it can be done. I was an EMT for a few years so I had a good foundation in the BLS component. I studied the book and CD until I could recognize all of the EKG and memorize ...
